Performance Evaluation Systems for
University Facilities
(FY2011)
School buildings
Educational Facilities Research Center,
National Institute for Educational Policy Research of Japan
Working Group for “The Investigative Research on the Functional Standards of
National University Corporations Facilities”
Introduction
The facilities of National University Corporations, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “national university
facilities”) form the basis of educational and research activities. Maintaining and increasing their
standard is essential to elevating the level of education and research, and to ensuring safety. The
National Government and National University Corporations, etc. (NUCs) are promoting the
expansion of educational and research facilities, and the improvement of dilapidated facilities;
however, a variety of problems remains at many national university facilities.
In “Centers of Knowledge―Approaches to the Development and Enhancement of Facilities at
National University Corporations, which Bring a Bright Future for Japan (Interim Report),” which
was made public in August 2009, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology (MEXT) indicated that “the Government should support individual corporations’ efforts
for effective and efficient development by formulating and disseminating objective and reasonable
indices for accurate understanding of facilities’ conditions” as one of the measures to promote
systematic facility development.
To that end, the Educational Facilities Research Center of the National Institute for Educational
Policy Research set up the Working Group for “The Investigative Research on the Functional
Standards of National University Corporations Facilities” (Head: Yukio Komatsu, Professor, Faculty
of Science and Engineering, Waseda University) to study methods to evaluate buildings’ conditions
against the performance standards expected of national university facilities.
Earthquake resistance capacity index (Is value) and years since construction have been used as
indices to indicate the condition of a building. In addition, items such as low-carbon measures,
deterioration of parts of the building, living environment for users, and functions supporting
education and research are included in this “Performance Evaluation Systems for University
Facilities” to form a new index for the comprehensive evaluation of a building’s conditions.
In the study process, we analyzed the 13 existing methods of evaluation, including the
Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE), but many of them
require a huge amount of time and effort for evaluation or assume new construction or improvement
work and are therefore difficult to use as they are. For this reason, we decided to build a new
evaluation system by setting evaluation items and standards suitable for the actual situation of
national university facilities with reference to these existing methods. After developing a draft
version, we conducted trials of the system in cooperation with several universities and other
institutions, checked for potential problems in operation of the system, and corrected a part of
evaluation items and criteria.
We hope that NUCs across the country will use the system as one of the measures to promote the
development of national university facilities in the future.

Chapter 1 Outline of the Performance Evaluation
Systems for University Facilities
I. Objective
Performance Evaluation Systems for University Facilities (hereinafter referred to as “the Evaluation System”)
evaluates the standard of buildings against the functions and the standard expected of facilities of National University
Corporations (NUCs; including Inter-University Research Institute Corporations and Institutes of National Colleges
of Technology).
Evaluation results can be used as one of the grounds for decisions on the refurbishment priority in facility
development and also as a tool to understand the development needs of all NUCs.
When building the Evaluation System, we were careful to make the system easy to implement so that all NUCs
would be able to use it with less burden on evaluators.
II. Target of Evaluation
The Evaluation System can be used for school buildings (undergraduate school buildings, graduate school facilities,
laboratory facilities), university libraries, welfare facilities and dormitories (including international exchange halls
and accommodations for researchers), but not for university hospitals, special experiment facilities (RI facilities,
animal experiment facilities), or indoor athletic facilities, such as gymnasiums. The term “welfare facilities” here
means facilities that have a school cafeteria.
The Evaluation System can be used for welfare facilities without a school cafeteria (hereinafter referred to as “other
student support facilities”), administration buildings, and other facilities by excluding specific evaluation items from
those for similar purposes. 6. Points to Remember in Operation apply to their operation.
The targets of evaluation are existing NUC facilities. The Evaluation System may be used even for dilapidated
facilities and newly built facilities, regardless of the years since construction. However, the Evaluation System is not
applicable to evaluations where change of purpose after refurbishment is assumed, for example, a school building can
not be evaluated using the evaluation items for a university library.
The Evaluation System is not applicable to cases where the building and major equipment for the supply of power,
water, heat, etc. are outside the range of the building that is to be evaluated (ex. energy center of a complex) if not
otherwise specified.
●Targets of
evaluation
- School buildings
- University Libraries
- Welfare Facilities
- Dormitories
△Evaluation is possible by
adjustment in operation
- Other student support
facilities
- Office buildings
etc.
×Not applicable
- University hospitals
- Special experiment
facilities (ex. RI facilities)
- Indoor athletic facilities,
such as gymnasiums
Chart: Applicable and not applicable purposes
III. Evaluation Method
1. Applicable Purposes
If the building to be evaluated has multiple purposes, conduct evaluation based on the purpose for which the largest
floor area is allocated.
2. Evaluation Items
i) Evaluation items are divided into “fundamental performance of building” and “performance necessary for the
purpose.”
ii) Evaluation items include “large items,” “middle items” and “small items,” as listed by purpose in Table 1. List of
Evaluation Items.
1
iii) Assess the level for each evaluation item with a weighting of large, middle or small given to each item. The
weight coefficient of each item is as listed in Tables 2 to 4.
iv) The need for refurbishment is assessed by ranking the overall score obtained through the comprehensive
weighting of multiple evaluation items.

3. Concept of the Evaluation Standard
i) The evaluation of each item is made on a 4-point scale where each grade is expressed as “Level X” (X is a digit
from 1 to 4).
ii) The standard level is “Level 4,” followed by “Level 3,” “Level 2,” and “Level 1” in descending order of
performance.
iii) The standard level is the level equivalent to the general technical/social level at the time of evaluation.
iv) The score of level 4 is 10.0; that of level 3 is 7.0; that of Level 2 is 3.0; and that of Level 1 is 0.0.
v) The evaluation standard shall be designed so that the investment effect of large-scale refurbishment is reflected as
a higher rating.
4. Concept of Rating
Total counts are graded in the following four levels or grades. Conditions corresponding to each grade are
exemplified as follows. The relationship between each grade and the total count is given in Table 5.
Grade D
- There is a problem in low-carbon-related performance, which calls for highly urgent refurbishment
- There is a problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, and conformance with the current
laws, which calls for highly urgent refurbishment
- There is a problem in the operation of the facility that calls for highly urgent refurbishment
Grade C
- There is a problem in low-carbon-related performance, which calls for urgent refurbishment
- There is a problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, and conformance with the current
laws, which calls for urgent refurbishment
- There is a problem in the operation of the facility that calls for urgent refurbishment
Grade B
- There is room for improvement in low-carbon-related performance
- There is a problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, and conformance with the current
laws, which calls for systematic refurbishment.
- There is a problem in the operation of the facility that calls for systematic refurbishment
Grade A
- There is no problem in low-carbon-related performance
- There is no problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, or conformance with the current
laws; or there is a minor problem that does not interfere with operation.
- There is little or no problem in the operation of the facility.

6. Points to Remember in Operation
i) Weight coefficient of evaluation items
Weight coefficients of large items are established by MEXT in accordance with the basic policy concerning
development and enhancement of NUC facilities and may be reviewed as needed in consideration of policy
circumstances.
If the basic policy is changed due to changes in circumstances surrounding facilities, performance evaluation may be
adapted to the new measures by increasing or decreasing the weight coefficients of large items.
Where there is no target of evaluation for weight coefficients of medium and small items, make a correction by
dividing each of the coefficients by the total, excluding the weight coefficients that have no target of evaluation.
ii) Purposes for which evaluation is possible by adjustment in operation
Similar purposes and evaluation items to be excluded for the purposes for which evaluation is possible by adjustment
are listed in the table below:

1.2 Facility Efficiency Improvement
Conduct evaluation according to “1.2.1 Individual air-conditioning” when the principal air-conditioning equipment is
individual air-conditioners, and according to “1.2.2 Central air-conditioning” when the principal air-conditioning
equipment is a central air-conditioner.
Central air-conditioning equipment installed outside the range of the building that is to be evaluated (ex. energy
center) is also covered by the evaluation.

(2) Evaluation method
Individual air-conditioning is evaluated according to the specification criteria [simple point method] based on the
“Energy Conservation Standards for Buildings” in principle.
The level of the principal air-conditioning equipment in terms of the energy use of the building is evaluated based on
the points calculated using the following formula. However, evaluation may be conducted only for package
air-conditioners (limited to air-cooling type) and gas heat pump air-conditioners. Principal equipment in terms of
energy use is the model with representative performance among the equipment used in the building.
Point value = [points of i] + [points of ii] + [J0 value of Table 1.2.1.1]
i) Points concerning the outdoor air load reduction consist of the total of the following points according to the
measures taken:

Cooling/heating average COP is calculated using the following formula:
Cooling/heating average COP = qc × cooling average COP + qH × heating average COP
In this formula, qc, qH, “cooling average COP” and “heating average COP” represent the following numeric values
respectively:
qc: Numeric value listed in Table 1.2.1.2 according to the category of the region
qH: Numeric value listed in Table 1.2.1.2 according to the category of the region
Cooling average COP: numeric value obtained by dividing the total value of the rated cooling capacity of the heat
source equipment of the representative performance model by the total value of the rating of
energy consumption for cooling of the same equipment
Heating average COP: numeric value obtained by dividing the total value of the rated heating capacity of the heat
source equipment of the representative performance model by the total value of the rating of
energy consumption for heating of the same equipment
Rating of energy consumption for cooling and rating of energy consumption for heating are calculated using the

The Investigative Research on the Functional Standards of National University Corporations
Facilities
July 8, 2009
Partially devised on March 25, 2010
Decision by Director-General of the National Institute for Educational Policy Research
1 Purpose
Facilities of National University Corporations, etc. (NUCs) are important bases to support educational and research
activities, and therefore they need to have functions to adequately respond to modern education, research, and other
needs. However, functional deterioration and obsolescence are progressing due to aging in the current severe fiscal
situation.
In this context, we will identify the functions that NUC facilities should have as facilities to support world-class
education and research, as well as functions necessary to handle contemporary issues. At the same time, we will
explore methods to examine the level of the existing facilities and develop indices by synthesizing necessary
functions in order to contribute to the clarification and efficiency improvement of investments for ensuring and
enhancing the functions of NUC facilities.
2 Items to be implemented
(1) Study of methods to identify functions and examine the level of existing facilities
(2) Study of the status of the indices developed by synthesizing functions
(3) Trial of the indices for NUC facilities
(4) Other
3 Implementation method
The investigative research shall be implemented in collaboration with MEXT Minister's Secretariat Department of
Facilities Planning and Administration, and with the help of the academic experts listed below. Help of other
stakeholders may be requested as needed.
4 Implementation period
Implementation period of the Investigative Research shall be from July 8, 2009, to March 31, 2011.
